If you want a little peace and quiet the next time you go to the movies try out a cell phone jammer. Of course, using one might get you fined $11,000.
If you want a little violence you could see American Gangster like Mel and I did last night. The reviews I heard gave Oscar level praise to Denzel, but I have to agree with Mel that it was just Denzel's usual shtick. I think he found a few degrees of play here and there, but overall it was his usual "stand up guy" performance just shaded dark. What was Denzel's Oscar scene in Gangster? I can't think of any. And you have to have that one scene that perfectly frames the character. It just wasn't there.
That being said, Gangster is a great movie. It should definitely be in the running for best picture and perhaps best supporting for Crowe.
